Instructions for Use
Before First Use: Read all labels, remove packaging, and wash accessories. Wipe the appliance interior and exterior with a warm, soapy cloth. Preheat the appliance briefly to burn off residue.

Choose a preset mode using the Control Knob and press Start/Pause. Adjust temperature and time as needed. The appliance will beep when cooking is complete.

Tips: Smaller foods cook faster. Larger quantities may require longer cooking times. Misting potatoes with oil enhances crispiness. Premade dough cooks faster than homemade. Use a baking pan for cakes or quiches.
